Hi, my name is Matthew McCourry. I graduated from the Port Townsend School of Massage in the Summer of 2014. That Autumn I started my own Massage practice focusing on serving my clients through sessions customized to their needs. I use a combination of relaxation, injury treatment, range of motion, stretching and strengthening techniques. The techniques I use come from Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point, and Clinical Treatment therapies.
I have gained a lot of benefits from massage. In my personal journey I have felt a lot of relief from my military PTSD and I've seen improvements in my body and mind. In my body, I have better kinaesthetic awareness, more flexibility, increased suppleness, and greater strength. This has led to improvements in both my Aikido (Martial Arts) practice, my general athleticism, and my daily life. With my mind, the postural release, body connection and ease of movement has created healthier relationships, a greater peace of mind, and an ability to see life in a more holistic fashion.
Having this bodywork and massage practice allows me to help my clients restore their body's movement, ease and function. Doing so, allows space for relief from pain, anxiety, and stress. This helps my clients get the benefits that I've received from massage, while increasing the wholeness, health and joy in their own bodies and lives.
